Hosea 10
1 O KA Iseraela, he kumu waina, i ulu palahalaha, e hua ana i ka hua nona iho; E like me ka nui o kona hua, pela no ia i hoomahuahua ai i na kuahu; E like me ka maikai o kona aina, pela no ia i hoonani ai i na kii.
Israel is an empty vine, he brings forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
2 Ua kanalua ko lakou naau; Ano e hoopaiia lakou; E hoohiolo no ia i ko lakou kuahu, E hoopau no ia i ko lakou mau kii.
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
3 Ano hoi, e olelo auanei lakou, Aohe o kakou alii, No ka mea, aole o kakou i makau aku ia Iehova; Heaha ka mea a ke alii e hana mai ai no kakou?
For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
4 Ua olelo lakou i na olelo hoohiki wahahee i ka hana ana i ka berita; A ua ulu mai ka hoahewa e like me ka laau make ma na auwaha o ke kula.
They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
5 E makau auanei na kanaka o Samaria no na keikibipi o Betavena: No ka mea, e auwe auanei kona poe kanaka no ia mea; A e haalulu na kahuna no kona nani, No ka mea, ua nalowale ia.
The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
6 A e laweia'ku hoi ia i Asuria i makana no ke alii no ka enemi: A e kau mai ka hilahila ia Eperaima, A e hilahila hoi ka Iseraela no kona manao iho.
It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7 A o Samaria, ua okiia'ku kona alii, e like me ka hua maluna o ka wai.
As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
8 A e hoopauia na heiau o Avena, ka hewa o ka Iseraela: E kupu mai auanei ka laau kuku a me ka puakala maluna o ko lakou mau kuahu; A e olelo aku lakou i na mauna, E uhi mai ia makou; A i na puu, E hiolo mai maluna o makou.
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
9 E ka Iseraela, ua hana hewa oe mai na la o Gibea mai; Ilaila lakou i ku ai: A o ke kaua ana ma Gibea i na keiki hewa, aole anei ia e hiki aku io lakou la?
O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
10 Eia ko'u manao, e hahau aku ia lakou; A e akoakoa mai na kanaka e ku e ia lakou, I kuu hoopaa ana ia lakou, no ko lakou mau hewa elua.
It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
11 A o Eperaima, ua like ia me ka bipi wahine opiopio i laka, a makemake hoi e hehi i ka palaoa: Aka, e hele aku no au maluna o kona a-i maikai: E hooholo au ia Eperaima; A e hana o Iuda me ka oopalau, A na Iakoba e kuikui i puupuu lepo nona.
And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loves to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
12 E lulu oukou no oukou iho, ma ka pono, E ohi oukou ma ka lokomaikai; E waele i ko oukou mahinaai; No ka mea, he manawa keia e imi ia Iehova, A hiki mai ia, a ao aku i ka pono ia oukou.
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he comes and rain righteousness upon you.
13 Ua mahi oukou ma ka pono ole, a ua ohi oukou i ka hewa; A e ai oukou i ka hua o ka wahahee: No ka mea, ua hilinai oe ma kou aoao iho, A i ka lehulehu o kou poe ikaika.
All of you have plowed wickedness, all of you have reaped iniquity; all of you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
14 Nolaila, e kupu mai auanei ka haunaele iwaena o kou poe kanaka, A e hoohioloia kou mau wahi paa a pau loa, E like me Salemana i hoohiolo ai ia Betarebela i ka la o ke kaua; I ulupaia'i ka makuwahine me kana mau keiki.
Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 Pela oia e hana mai ai ia oukou, ma Betela, no ko oukou hewa nui: I kakahiaka e oki loa ia'ku ke alii o ka Iseraela.
So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
